Good Tuesday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!
Seems I've posted a large number of classic songs of late, so I thought I would include a song from someone more current... I found this song, which has the flavor of rock, but also the blues and jazz! The Singer is Samantha Fish, and the song is entitled "Lay it down"...
Here is a short background on Samantha Fish! Let me know in a comment whether you like her and her song or not...
Background:
Samantha Fish grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. Fish started out playing drums, but when she was 15 she switched to the guitar. Fish frequently went to the Knuckleheads Saloon to hear touring Blues artists. After turning 18, she often joined in with the singers and bands who were performing at Knuckleheads.
Career
In 2009, Fish recorded and produced Live Bait. The live album attracted the attention of a talent company, who recommended her to Ruf Records. Ruf Records put together a record with Fish and two other female blues artists, Cassie Taylor and Dani Wilde, titled Girls with Guitars. The three guitarists then toured on the Ruf Records 2011 Blues Caravan in the U.S. and Europe.[citation needed]
Fish continued touring with the Samantha Fish Band, featuring "Go-Go Ray" Pollard on drums and Chris Alexander on bass, playing in Europe and the United States. In 2011, Fish recorded Runaway with the help of her mentor Mike Zito. The album won the 2012 Blues Music Award for Best New Artist.
Fish appeared on Devon Allman's 2013 album Turquoise in a duet covering the Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks' song "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". During the summer of 2013, Fish was called up on stage to play with a skeptical Buddy Guy who was so impressed with her playing on the guitar, he declared with a beaming smile to his audience, "When this kind of shit happens, I'll play all night!"
In 2013, Fish released her second major studio album, Black Wind Howlin', featuring Mike Zito on guitar, Yonrico Scott on drums, Johnny Sansome on harmonica, and Paul Thorn, vocal duet on one track. The album was recorded in Dockside Studios, in Maurice, Louisiana. Mike Zito's bandmates from his group Royal Southern Brotherhood, Yonrico Scott and Charlie Wooton, were brought in to assist in the session recordings.
Also in 2013, Fish appeared on The Healers Live at Knuckleheads Saloon, producing a CD/DVD collaboration with Jimmy Hall, Reese Wynans, Kate Moss, and Danielle and Kris Schnebelen (sister and brother, formerly of the band Trampled Under Foot). Proceeds benefit the Blue Star Connection. The Healers occasionally perform together as their schedule permits.[citation needed]
Fish's third studio album, Wild Heart was released on July 10, 2015. The new album is more roots rock than her earlier blues rock.[citation needed] Fish wrote five songs on the record. She co-wrote five other songs with Jim McCormick in Nashville, Tennessee. Luther Dickinson produced the album, as well as played various stringed instruments (guitar, bass, mandolin, lap steel) to flesh out the sound. The album was recorded in four studios, Royal Studios and Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, Zebra Ranch in Coldwater, Mississippi, and Blade Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana. Other musicians on the record are Brady Blade (drums), Lightnin' Malcolm (guitar), Shardé Thomas (drums), Dominic Davis (bass), Shontelle Norman-Beatty (background vocals), and Risse Norman (background vocals).[citation needed]
Fish released her fourth solo album, Chills & Fever on March 17, 2017. The album was recorded in Detroit and was recorded with members of the band The Detroit Cobras. Bobby Harlow produced the album. Belle of the West followed in December 2017.
Fish will release her sixth solo album, Kill or Be Kind, on August 30, 2019 on her new label, Rounder Records.

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the official music video of Samantha Fish performing "Lay It Down"
Background of Samantha Fish: "Samantha Fish grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. Fish started out playing drums, but when she was 15 she switched to the guitar. Fish frequently went to the Knuckleheads Saloon to hear touring Blues artists. After turning 18, she often joined in with the singers and bands who were performing at Knuckleheads. Early influences on Fish were Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow. Stevie Ray Vaughan was also a major influence on her."
"Lay It Down"
Lyrics
"You're sending shivers up and down my spine,
You make me wanna walk - walk the line.
The devil's knockin' at my door, well I ain't home it's just-a quarter past 4.
'Cause me and Jimmy been sitting at the bar,
Drinkin gin and playin' cards.
Got an ace up his sleeve and a pistol by my side.
And if he calls first I'm gonna give it to him right.
I tell ya,
Oooooh, it's just another Sat-ur-day night.
Oooooh, it's just another Sat-ur-day night.
Lay it Down, under the pale moonlight.
Mary's got a ring in her nose from her new party favor.
Harry's sittin' homeless and praying to his savior.
Jared's slinging freedom but only if you pay.
Well if you have a taste baby I know you're gonna stay.
So come on, (lose kinda low) just give it to me sweet.
Your words arrested like you're worried bout them singin' in the street.
I said, take a minute and break a minute too, it's just a reckless little runaway, got something to prove.
Oooooh, it's just another Sat-ur-day night.
I tell 'em
Oooooh, it's just another Sat-ur-day night.
Lay it Down, under the pale moonlight.
Lay it down, babe.
Lay it down.
Oooooh, it's just another Sat-ur-day night.
I said look,
Oooooh, it's just another Sat-ur-day night.
Oh well, lay it Down, under the pale moonlight."
